Stepping away from their day jobs, a group of FortisBC employees channelled their energy into volunteering at the Goldstream Food Bank.

Fifteen employees from the energy provider's Langford operations crew helped to organize, pack and deliver food hampers on Dec. 10.

As well as their time, the group of volunteers also delivered $500 in cash, $500 in taxi vouchers and an additional donation of $1,000 from the FortisBC executive leadership team and board of directors.

So far in 2024, the organization has seen demand for its services continue to rise, with a record number of 159 hampers distributed on one day in November.
